Description
Old Mill House is a house that was formerly associated with a mill. It dates from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with a core that may be from the 15th century or early 16th century, and an addition from the 18th century. The building is timber framed and rendered, topped with a plain tile roof. It features two timber-framed bays of an open hall, although the storeyed right end bay is missing. The left end bay may have been rearranged as a cross-wing that projects to the rear, likely during the late 16th century or early 17th century.
The house has two low stores on a rendered plinth. The roof is half-hipped on the right and hipped on the left, with the hip returning to a slightly higher ridge. There is a multiple brick ridge stack on the front slope of the roof at the junction of the main range and the wing. The fenestration is irregular, featuring two 3-light casements—one in the wing and one rising through the eaves with a hipped roof in the main range. The entrance includes a panelled and half-glazed door with a flat hood under the stack, and there is a rendered lean-to on the left. A central rear stair turret from the 18th century is present, along with a short rear wing to the right.
Inside, the house has exposed framing and a moulded right end of the hall beam. There are exposed diamond mullion windows and a plain truncated crown-post at the right end of the hall, which has foot braces but is moved towards one end of the tie-beam. The roof features clasped purlins with diminishing principal rafters and windbraces, similar to the roof of the rear right wing. Each floor has a stone fireplace on either side of each stack. The 18th-century staircase has a moulded handrail and balusters.
